The Great Wall of China may not be visible from space, but from the International Space Station (ISS) the violence in Gaza and Israel is.
A German astronaut has captured a striking photograph of rocket fire and explosions above the conflict zone.
Flight engineer Alexander Gerst, who is currently in the middle of a six-month stay on the ISS, took the image from 200 miles above Earth.
The 38-year-old shared the image with his 85,000 Twitter followers yesterday evening, calling it his “saddest photo yet”.
In the photo, streams of light appear to illustrate the trajectory of the rockets, while sparks of light illuminate the explosions.
